Reviews
"Observations / suggestions / etc: - Requires a fairly big surface area given lots of cards and lots of pieces are part of this game. - Gameplay is super fast, you can get around the horn very quickly (4 players can play in 30 seconds total if they all just draw cards), so don't think you're going to be getting up to get a drink after your turn or anything. - If you play with people who are sneaky you should think about wearing sunglasses so they can't see where you are looking on the board because it might give away your strategy if they could tell where you are focusing. - If you're playing against people who don't wear sunglasses try and watch their eyes so you can see where they are looking, it may give away their strategy and you can swoop in and take their routes and win the game that'll teach them. - The spot labeled Duluth is clearly in Minneapolis/St Paul and *everyone* who you play with from Minnesota will point it out. - I recommend some sort of "card holder" thing if you play with younger kids and/or people with smaller hands."
"Simple to learn, strategies unfold as you play, doesn't take a long time while not being too short."
"We play this at our usual game nights every week, and particularly love this game because it is fairly easy to pick up and understand."
"Works well as a two player game - with some minor modifications - but also a great game with a group."
"If you like Settler of Catan, this game is by the same makers and according to my brother and other friends that have played both this game is just as good if not better than Catan."
"This is a great game for people who have a casual approach to table top."
"A fellow Scout parent recommended this at STEM Camp and we got it for Christmas."
"We've tried a lot of different board games and nothing has come close to the fun we've had with Ticket to Ride."

Reviews
"In short, the game plays like this: two teams, each with a clue-giver (spymaster) and one or more guessers. Each spymaster is trying to give their team one-word clues that help them relate one or more of the words on the table together (without saying the actual words, of course) so that the guessers can figure out which of the random words are affiliated with their team (only the spymasters know this information). The spymaster hopes their team will pick the words that they intended based on their clue without picking cards affiliated with the enemy team, neutral words, or the "spy" word, which immediately ends the game. As an example, a clue of "animal" might be great if you're trying to get your team to guess "cat" and "dog", but horrible if the opposing team also controls the "lion" card. Personally, I think this game works best with 4 or 6 players, where each team has a spymaster and 1-2 guessers."
"This game can really be played with however many you want."
"The rules are very simple, but due to the nature of the game there's plenty of opportunity to challenge yourself intellectually and feel clever for coming up with strong clues."
"So much fun!"
"You know there must be a way to clue 4 different cards with one clue... but how. My all-time best clue being a six card clue (resulting in 4 picks at first): "Vietnam", which was way too broad but didn't have many drawbacks, it included Jungle, Bomb, Gun, Boots, Soldier, Amazon, Orange?.. I make a colossal number of mistakes, because it's better to come up with something than take 5 minutes coming up with a clue."
"My only concern is that you get familiarized with the word cards after playing it for a while."
"Super fun game."
"The time required to play is reasonable so you can easily get in multiple games."

Reviews
"3) It's flexible enough that people can jump in and out of the game and it doesn't mess anything up - My family members have the attention span of a goldfish and often get up for food or conversation, but thankfully game play doesn't have to stop!"
"Some of the categories weren't specific enough for us, but we just made our own rules on those cards (keeping the 5-sec rule in place)."
"The 5 seconds can cause what would otherwise be a rather easy category to become hard where you think of 20 examples after the time runs out."
"The little timer required tape on both ends though because the "little" sound it makes it freaking annoying to be honest."
"Given to a couple for Christmas who said it was a huge hit at there New Year's Eve party."
"Bought this game right before Christmas to have something to play during the holidays with the family."
"it has questions printed on both sides, so if there's a topic you don't know how to answer, you can switch to the other side."
"We bought this game to play over the holidays."

Best Card Games

Cards Against Humanity
Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends. - Mike "Gabe" Krahulik, Penny Arcade "Uncontrollable laughter." Over 150 new cards since the last version.
Reviews
"My Husband and I have played it with our son quite a few times and it made us all sit together and just laugh so hard that we snort and end up having some very interesting conversations. Anything that keeps my teenager talking to me and feeling comfortable speaking with us about odd or uncomfortable things is a win in my parenting handbook."
"There are Black Cards and there are White Cards. Players have 10 White Cards, which they use to complete the Black Card's question(s)/blank(s). After each player (besides The Judge) has chosen the best White Card in their hand to go with the Black Card, all players turn their White Cards in to The Judge. From here, The Judge reviews the White Cards and decides his/her favorite pairing of the White and Black Cards. After everyone has chosen their White Card, the Judge reviews the responses: "Smallpox Blankets", "Drinking Alone", "A Can of Whoop-Ass", and "Take-Backsies". (Before you read these and think I'm an awful person, these are actual White Cards that I have seen played on the aforementioned Black Card). 4."
"This game has got to be the funniest game I've played in awhile..."
"As more of your subconscious fights to unleash the trauma, you'll find yourself uttering "nipple blades" and "mouth herpes" in the most unacceptable of times. They'll bring new friends in to freshen up the game...you will feel a rush as the look of shame crosses their innocent eyes as they win a round by playing "Amputees" against your "White People Like _____". A team of rescue workers will find you you weeks later in your closet, frazzled, emaciated, and stinking from "Soiling Yourself", because you just couldn't stop with playing Cards Against Humanity against yourself. The light of day will strike your eyes and you'll gaze up at your saviors with pensive anticipation... "Wanna play?""

Reviews
"He sees a speech therapist for a language disorder and also sees an OT for sensory purposes and and social communication issues (goes hand in hand with the language delay). The gist of it is, the pig is fed food, you pump his head 5 times if the food has a 5 on it, 3 pumps if it has 3, etc. With each pump, the pig's belly expands until finally, his belt pops open Pop the Pig! Then she would help him pump the pig's head the corresponding amount of times."
"This is a great game for all ages."
"Success - kids enjoyed their family game present."
"Game is able to be played by just kids without adult help once they understand how it works."

Reviews
"We've played it for years - at home, on vacation, at friend's houses - it's a great game and everyone we know loves it, and this giant Jenga has kicked it up a notch. Giant makes me think of Jenga pieces so big that it takes two hands to pick them up, and there are companies that make yard-sized Jenga knock-offs with pieces that are three feet across. It's no more or less fun than the original, but it is a lot easier for guys with big hands to play... we have friends who alway find the original Jenga frustrating because their fingers are too big to delicately remove the small pieces."
"This game can be enjoyed by family, friends, kids, adults and people of all ages, sizes, sexes, races, cultures and backgrounds. Advice for today's generation would be, instead of giving a child an iP** or Xb**, try challenging and watching how much joy and excitement a 5 year receives from simply building the blocks. If the task is too monotonous and time consuming for the average adult, it would be a tremendous achievement for some children to build it themselves."
"This is a really fun game. Who ever is the last player to remove a block without causing the stack to crash is the winner."
"This classic Jenga game is a lot of fun, We enjoy hours playing this simple game."
"YES. Good for all ages and levels of accomplishment? However, my dog chewed on one so now I have a great set minus 1."
"The typical Jenga game but a must for a game room or closet."
"Classic Jenga."
"Bought this for my stepson for Christmas after he was introduced the giant version in the waiting room/lobby of at a laser tag/gaming arena."

Reviews
"It's great for taking your mind off your troubles because you have to concentrate so hard on remembering the patterns."
"Each button lights up very brightly and the sound is loud making it very fun to play."
"My family had great tournaments with Simon and now I am gifting my great grandchildren with the same game."
"Great retro item."
"This doesn't have the tactile feed back the old Simon had, but works better."
"I wish there was a way to silence it also the touchscreen buttons are very sensitive and take it as a touch just by hovering over one."
"If you played them on a musical instrument, they actually formed a major chord similar to the notes of a bugle. On game 2, where you create your own pattern, you could actually play simple songs. The tones on the new version of Simon are simple beeps and boops and they're not harmonious. The original Simon has a skill level switch that allows you to set it for a game of 8, 14, 20, or 31 sequences. If you reach the goal set by the skill level, the game gives you a win signal. That may seem like a good thing until you accidentally touch a panel by mistake and cause you to lose the game."
"I’m keeping it because it’s a present and I’m out of time to look for something else The buttons are to stiff for a five year old And overall feel is of cheap plastic Never would’ve bought it of a store shelf."
